I love having saunf after meals, it helps with digestion. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if it's still safe for me to eat it? Please let me know if it's okay.
At my hospital, the dietitian told me that having a pinch of saunf after meals for digestion is completely fine. However, they strictly advised against consuming saunf water or tea in large concentrated quantities. Please clarify with your hospital nutritionist to be absolutely sure.
Beta, eating a small pinch of saunf after food to help with acidity and nausea is an old ghar ka nuskha, and it is safe. But do not drink heavy saunf decoctions or eat too much of it daily, as excess of anything is not good for the baby. Keep it in moderation.
I used to have just a tiny bit of saunf to refresh my mouth after my post-lunch walks. While light walking is great for digestion, a pinch of saunf can also help, but make sure you don't overdo it. Always focus on a balanced diet and moderate movement!
According to the food safety guides on my pregnancy app, moderate use of fennel seeds (saunf) as a spice or mouth freshener is safe. However, avoid taking concentrated fennel supplements or essential oils because they can trigger contractions. Keep it limited to a tiny amount.
I felt so much acidity in my first trimester and chewing a few seeds of saunf really helped soothe my stomach. I was so worried if it was safe, but my doctor said a small amount after food is totally harmless. It was a lifesaver for my heartburn!
